Penfield library seeks poetry submissions from youths

The Friends of Penfield Public Library group is holding the 36th annual teen poetry contest, open to submissions from Friday, March 1, through Tuesday, April 30.

It is open to students in grades 6-12 throughout Monroe County.

Each entrant can submit one original poem as an email attachment to lgrills@libraryweb.org. The entrant's name should not be on the same page as the poem; include a separate page with name, grade, school, home address and phone number.

There are cash prizes available in different age groups, and the best poems will be included in a published booklet.
